COVID-19
Since Devon reopened to visitors on 4th July, we’ve been keen to encourage visitors to enjoy coming to North Devon and helping get North Devon’s businesses back on track. Of course, we want everyone to stay safe, so please check the information below and enjoy your time in North Devon safely!
#KnowBeforeYouGo
The #KnowBeforeYouGo campaign was launched to help give you peace of mind when travelling, so make sure to check the below and ensure that you know, before you go!
- When planning your trip, make sure to check the latest information online to see what restrictions may be in place, particularly if you are visiting an attraction or eatery as many of these have limited capacity and will require advanced booking.
- Check to see which restaurants and bars etc are open and what they have in place, ie, whether you can eat in, take away or whether you need to book.
- Make sure to maintain a two meter distance when you are exploring and enjoying North Devon.
- Wear a face covering at all times on public transport and in enclosed spaces unless you are medically exempt.
- Make sure you have a bank card on you as many places are only accepting contactless or card payments at the moment.
- Make sure to keep washing your hands, there will be extra chances to wash your hands in shops and attractions, but it is always a good idea to keep a travel sized bottle of hand sanitiser on your person, just in case!
